Diorama Love

I went through a short phase of making dioramas when we lived in Germany. I think it’s something I need to revisit. If you’ve been to Barcelona you may recognize some of these pictures. There are loads of buildings being torn down and at each construction site you find yourself starring at exposed interior apartment walls; A snapshot of who lived there before. Honestly, it’s kind of a weird voyeuristic kind of feeling. There are a lot of nice pattern inspirations in these old walls. I took some pictures, simplified and adjusted the colors, and made wallpaper patterns. Wouldn’t it be nice to see these hanging in the new apartments that go up? A little nod to its past life.
